you generally put two hoses into the plenum of one inlet/outlet if the duct run is long

Can't connect the SWA cable. Practical help please.

is that T&E? I'd be replacing that... -
maybe just buy one and then overclad the front to your preference? I dealt with C&S in Tullamore and they were very good, they make up their own panels with a shiplap style

same difference really

the perimeter of the cassette has a wrap of membrane pre-fitted before being craned in. It sits on the lower flap of membrane and then the upstairs wall panels sit on the upper. These flaps of membrane are then ready to be taped to the VCLs. Externally, the upper wall sheathing is draped down over it all and stapled to the lower sheath. In our case it was heavy gauge polythene, you can see it hanging down in this image. All the upstairs studs had a similar strip of poly over the top of them for the ceiling VCL to attach to.

to lap round the floor cassettes, at least that's how ours were done

looks like the door won't open much past 90deg so do you *really* need to move the hinge point?

Always remember guys that "UK" rules are often really only GB... @Kevan Marshall whereabouts are you, and have you done any heat loss calculations yet? We've a great tool ( Jeremy's) on the site that many have used to get a grip on energy requirements -
unless it came with a certificate, this is false- for any equipment.

have you space to batten that side wall out an inch or two, and shift the tray over a bit? Does the selected tray's waste have multiple outlet points?

things are different in the US...

Sweet spot when buying a digger
dpmiller replied to Post and beam's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Digger and dumper combo for me- 3CXs are great but not so much if the ground is soft or you need into a tight corner -
Heating and cooling automation on the cheap

I've used Inkbird DIN-rail controllers a few times and they're good kit. -
Aluminium Vs Alic-Clad timber windows cost difference

you told a supplier how much money you had to spend? Ouch. -
Wiring an outdoor switch....basic question
dpmiller replied to saveasteading's topic in Power Circuits
are you absolutely sure the fault is in the cable rather than the light? the windy-on plastic things are called "wire nuts" and we're not in the US so you'd be better off thinking about Wagos... -
timezone can work two ways- full on/off, or programmable setpoints. Enable it only for setpoint, then add whatever timezones you need in C105-108. I *think* that these setpoints are then fed into the WC, but I'm not sure if they act as a minimum or maximum...

there's a bit of blurb in the v6.6 manual- and IIRC something slightly more detailed bit chenglish in the original Sprsun manual. But broadly, Day mode allows use of the full performance envelope, Night caps it for low noise, and low is weather comp. However, even the non WC modes throttle compressor speed based on ambient temp so... what might be useful for you is U02- startup differential and shutdown differential. They control how much below setpoint the unit starts, and how it slows down as it approaches setpoint.
